Essentially, perhaps, but "teenager" has bright lines. You're a pre-teen until your 13th birthday, you're unambiguously a teenager until the day you turn twentysomething.
Meanwhile, you've gone through stages such as "pre-pubescent", "adolescent", and "adult" as well as probably "got drunk at a few parties".
